When my son was 4, he said he knew the tooth fairy was real because he
saw her. He and his sister shared a room and he described a lady with
black hair and a white dress hovering over his sister in the middle of
the night.

I don't live with my 4 year old. One night, I dreamt he and I were
playing together. I went to spend time with him the next evening. He
looked at me at the end of our visit and said, "Mommy, I wish that I
could always be with you like you were in my dreams last night!"

My son would always start laughing and talking at 2AM in his crib. The
next morning his hair would be crazy messy. Sometimes he would call for
me and say, “Coddie.” My uncle (we called him Claudie) died a few weeks
after we told him we were pregnant, so Liam never met him.

4. From my 4 year old, "Mom, your bed is SO comfy! Can I have it when you die?"

5. My 4 year old son, declaring from the back seat ,"I want to be a murderer when I grow up!"

Me: "Honey, what do you think a murderer is?"

My son: "Oh, you know, someone who swims around the ocean with sharks."

Me: "OK, sweetie, that sounds great, but that's not a murderer.

6. Oldest child: “Mom if we were stranded and you had to eat a human, would you eat one of us?"
Me: “No."Child: “Hmm... I would eat Dad, he is bigger."

Last August, our elderly neighbor died after battling numerous medical
issues (my son enjoyed visiting him and having him over. They got along
great). I was out of town on business so he was staying with my parents.
My mom approached my son to tell him the unfortunate news. She found
him sitting on the floor in their living room looking quite peaceful.
After she told him, he calmly said "I know already. He told me he's all
better now. He's with Arline (his deceased wife) again, and they're
happy." He then looked towards the ceiling and started mumbling
something to himself.

8. "If I die, Daddy, don't worry. As long as you remember me I'll be able to dig out and cuddle you."

When my son was about 5, he had an imaginary little sister whom he
called Molly. She supposedly went everywhere with him and he talked to
her all the time. What he didn't know was that I had a miscarriage when
he was 2 and had it been a girl, her name was going to be Holly.

My 8yr old daughter told me, "Mom, I love you and all... But sometimes I
don't think you're you." It completely caught me off guard, so I asked
her what she meant. She replied, "well, sometimes I feel like my real
mom was taken away and you are just a creature wearing her skin."
